Dear Ms. Letitia James, New York State Attorney General: Ms. James, are you familiar with the "young elephant" statue outside BNP Paribas' 787 Seventh Avenue office in New York City? *Vice President JD Vance hosts a Police Week breakfast.* - https://www.facebook.com/FoxNews/videos/1002590735191954/?sfnsn=mo&mibextid=6aamW6 *BNP Paribas' "young elephant":* - https://images.app.goo.gl/5S9Vr New York City has a story about "Happy the Elephant" that could end-up relating to this "young elephant" statue outside BNP Paribas in New York City. *Bronx Zoo’s Happy the Elephant Hasn’t Been Seen in Two Weeks, Observers Say:* *The zoo says “nothing is wrong with” the half-century-old pachyderm.* - https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/07/31/happy-elephant-mystery-bronx-zoo-nonhuman-rights-project/#:~:text=The%20state's%20highest%20court%20ruled,and%20freedom%20from%20unfair%20confinement . The New York Court of Appeals ruled against a lawsuit that sought to grant an elephant, Happy, at the Bronx Zoo, the right to bodily liberty and freedom from unfair confinement, citing that the writ of habeas corpus <https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-charter-us-revc&cs=1&sca_esv=0312fbabf4daa587&q=habeas+corpus&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjv_I7HzdCMAxXwKFkFHdmHMfsQxccNegQIBBAC&mstk=AUtExfAG-umfVf4lCWGJ8yozv2qy5EL4M4DTBVJXBHIAGRpoQ7wbzBhcRhak10Ut-jpBW9jH40FvqBT_bclxuraKu30KKlobNDna3wk2ZSyTk5_Adr2UEBAmyc6uxsxuW0kriuhJKXHtG6IlDQc8rEDXu04GOjl8vQ68sYcFtMcl_CtxeldhcCNE_N6GCT-gVuDnSW5S&csui=3> is intended for human beings, not animals. While acknowledging Happy's cognitive complexity and self-awareness, the court found she didn't possess the fundamental human right to be free from unlawful detention. Here's a more detailed breakdown: - The Case: The Nonhuman Rights Project (NRP) filed a lawsuit in 2018, arguing that Happy the elephant, at the Bronx Zoo, should be granted a writ of habeas corpus, meaning she should be freed from what they argued was unlawful confinement. They claimed she was entitled to the same rights as humans and deserved to be transferred to a sanctuary. - Court Ruling: The New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, dismissed the NRP's petition. The majority of judges ruled that while elephants are intelligent and deserving of compassion, they do not have the same rights as humans, specifically regarding habeas corpus. - Justification: The court argued that habeas corpus is a legal tool intended to protect human liberty and freedom from illegal detention, and it does not apply to non-human animals. - Consequences: This ruling means that Happy remains at the Bronx Zoo, and the legal battle for animals' rights has been dealt a blow in New York. - Ongoing Efforts: Despite the court ruling, animal rights advocates continue to push for better treatment of animals in captivity and are exploring other avenues for change, such as local legislation. ----- Ms. James, xNY.io - Bank.org feels the water quality in New York City, the elephant statue at BNP Paribas in New York City and "*The Greatest Fish Story Ever Told*" may all have something in common. *The Greatest Fish Story Ever Told:* Art Director/Designer/Photographer: Bert Steinhauser Copywriter: Frada Sklar Wallach Client: El Al Isreal Airlines *"Thousands of years ago, in the Sea of* *Galilee, there was a tasty little fish known * *as chromis simonis. The 'Big Fisherman' * *himself is said to have caught it. So it was * *named St. Peter's fish, after him. * *The name stuck to the fish and the fish * *stuck to the Galilee. The wonder is that it* *hasn't changed since Peter's day. Restau-* *rants all over Israel serve it and in Tiberias * *it's a specialty. * *If you like, you can hook your own 'St. * *Peter' in the Sea of Galilee. Or fish for other * *fish in other waters. The seas runneth over * *with prizes. In Eilat, there's even a famous * *restaurant that will cook your catch right * *on the spot.* *While the fish is grilling, you can be bak-* *ing on a nearby beach. Telling your own fish story. Or just watching the snorkelers watching the fish. * *If you're a meat and potatoes man, or* *lady, you won't go hungry. How about * *barbecued lamb with hummus (ground chickpeas) or home-cooked chicken soup* *with noodles or boiled beef with curry or* *very good goulash? * *And don't worry about getting fat. Places * *like ancient Sodom, King Solomon's Mines,* *Massada, The Tomb of Absalom, Mt.* *Tabor and Capernaum are scattered from * *one end of Israel to the other.

There'll be nothing* *fishy about that. * *EL* *AL* *The airline of the people of Isreal*." *Ms. James, I look forward to hearing what you think of the elephant statue outside BNP Paribas' 787 Seventh Avenue New York City office place. * Thank you, Gunnar Larson -- Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson *xNY.io - Bank.org* 917-580-8053 NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10001 On Thu, May 15, 2025, 10:46 AM Gunnar Larson <g@xny.io> wrote:
